[MIKEY_HORROR]

props for Riki-Oh!

[drivthru182]

Not as obscure as your list, but many people I know haven't seen Labyrinth or Dark Crystal, two movies I think everyone should see.

[chordsforacure]

props for Riki-Oh!

Any film that involves someone choking another man with his Intestines NEEDS to be seen by everyone

[gilatron5000]

lol Riki-Oh.

KKBB is seriously my favorite movie.

IS this the 8 Days A Week with Keri Russell? If so, that movie was ODD.

[chordsforacure]

Not as obscure as your list, but many people I know haven't seen Labyrinth or Dark Crystal, two movies I think everyone should see.

yeah I recently discovered my roommate had never seen Monster Squad, Hocus Pocus, Goonies, Labyrinth OR Little monsters. What the fuck did he do with his childhood?

[chordsforacure]

IS this the 8 Days A Week with Keri Russell? If so, that movie was ODD.

Yep, that 100 Girls and 100 Women are all written by the same guy who followed it up with Shoot 'Em Up (equally awesome).

I know that it's a cheesy film (as is 100 Girls) but I think it's a fun and EXTREMELY bizarre take on romantic comedies

[MIKEY_HORROR]

I will throw in:

Street Trash
Bottle Rocket
Mothers Day
Chopping Mall

[chordsforacure]

Oh Shit! where was I with Bottle Rocket!

Street Trash is pretty awesome too but I prefer The Stuff myself.

Every Wednesday at my Apartment we have a "weird Ass Movie Night"... tonight we rocked some Re-Animator action but I'm excited July is "WATER-BASED MONSTER MONTH" so we're watching Alligator, Piranha, Orca, Humanoids from the Deep and The Incredible Mr. Limpet starring Don FUCKING Knotts.

[WoodenSoldier]

i loved the invisible

[chordsforacure]

i loved the invisible

Yeah, I saw it in the theaters with my best friend and it seemed like him and I were the only people in the theater that enjoyed it

[coryatlarge]

haha i lose. out of that list the only one i've seen is cashback.

[murrich]

Spirit of the Beehive.

[alphanix]

The Ice Pirates
Top Secret!

[Justin_stacy]

CSA was such a disappointment.

[Justin_stacy]

I'll add:

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane
The Changelling
Cabin Boy
Dead Next Door

[JustAStatistic]

i think i've only seen three of the movies out of that entire list...

[chordsforacure]

CSA was such a disappointment.

It definitely wasn't everything it could have been but I thought it was a fun experiment regardless, kinda like "Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down" if anyone has seen that before

[Justin_stacy]

It definitely wasn't everything it could have been but I thought it was a fun experiment regardless, kinda like "Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down" if anyone has seen that before

it was too long, the segments at the end were real weak. the concept was great, but the product needed a little work.

[atticusfinch]

Suburbia is a great movie.

[the color theft]

I know it's not really all that obscure, but everyone should see The Fall.

[JustAStatistic]

drop dead fred
spun
kalifornia
slackers
idle hands
welcome to the dollhouse
from dusk till dawn

some of those are pretty common,but it just seems like most people i've mention them to haven't seen them.

[QuikTrig]

i second welcome to the dollhouse. talk about an odd movie.

[cheezwhiz]

Freaking loved Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Winter Passing. My friends are horrible when it comes to movies, so stuff I think fell through the cracks, like The Talented Mr. Ripley or Gone Baby Gone or In Bruges, other people have actually seen. Here's my contribution:

driving lessons
dirty pretty things
one hour photo
music within
the nines
wristcutters
tape (even though it made me dizzy)

oh and speaking of missing out on childhood, I watched Labyrinth for the first time last weekend and I think it's safe to say that if I had seen that when I was little I would've been traumatized.

[whoaisame]

Primer
Timecrimes
The Jacket (major release, but not many people have seen it)
Dark City

If you like sci fi type stuff, I recommend all these.

[colorlesscliche]

Oh Shit! where was I with Bottle Rocket!

Street Trash is pretty awesome too but I prefer The Stuff myself.

Every Wednesday at my Apartment we have a "weird Ass Movie Night"... tonight we rocked some Re-Animator action but I'm excited July is "WATER-BASED MONSTER MONTH" so we're watching Alligator, Piranha, Orca, Humanoids from the Deep and The Incredible Mr. Limpet starring Don FUCKING Knotts.


That's so awesome, if I ever went to a four year school I would have loved to do something like that.

[williek311]

Cidade de Deus
City of God
God's Town
La cité de Dieu

[SkaBum14]

Lost Skeleton of Cadavera

My family was obsessed with this movie for a while. We still say "let's do science" occasionally.

[stayillogical]

Cidade de Deus
City of God
God's Town
La cité de Dieu

I watched this two night ago. I think by now everyone knows about it.

For me, no one has ever even heard of Turtles Can Fly.

[heyozzie]

melvin goes to dinner
primer
wet hot american summer
the baxter

(maybe people have seen these, but no one from my group of friends has..yet)

[stayillogical]

I didn't really like Primer and Timecrimes was just okay.

I am a big fan of this movie

[Animalhill]

Brick
Manic
The Believer
The United States of Leland

[chordsforacure]

My family was obsessed with this movie for a while. We still say "let's do science" occasionally.

Whenever any of my friends drink something now we go "tip, tip, tip, tip, tip"

[SkaBum14]

I sleep now.

[eraserhead]

Haha, Lost Skeleton of Cadavra was terrible.

[eraserhead]

Best dialogue ever from Lost Skeleton of Cadavra:

Dr. Paul Armstrong (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1117507/): Dinner was delicious, honey. Keep cooking like that and I won't even be able to move, let alone do science.
Betty Armstrong (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0557739/): That'd suit me fine, Mr. Meteor.
Dr. Paul Armstrong (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1117507/): Ouch, that hurt. Tomorrow let's say you and I go searching for our rocky glowing radioactive friend from space... together.
Betty Armstrong (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0557739/): Paul Armstrong, I do believe there's hope for you yet. Shake on it?
Dr. Paul Armstrong (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1117507/): Why shake when we can touch other things... like lips?

[chordsforacure]

Haha, Lost Skeleton of Cadavra was terrible.

Yeah but that's why it's so amazing!

[kemichels]

Any film that involves someone choking another man with his Intestines NEEDS to be seen by everyone

Clearly need to see this now.

I always recommend Oldboy to people, but none of my friends ever watch foreign movies.

[kemichels]

Brick
Manic
The Believer
The United States of Leland

Brick was great!

[Animalhill]

Brick was great!
For sure man! I loved that movie. You get a chance to take a listen my band yet? Just curious as to what you think.

[kemichels]

For sure man! I loved that movie. You get a chance to take a listen my band yet? Just curious as to what you think.

I failed last night...fell asleep after work and then had a softball game. I'll check it when I get home though for sure this time. I'm definitely interested and I'll let you know. you guys ever think you'll make it to the midwest?

[derekmoyer4]

Brick
Manic
The Believer
The United States of Leland

great choice. this movie is awesome.

[jawstheme]

I didn't really like Primer and Timecrimes was just okay.

Really? Stick to Back to the Future I guess.

[Animalhill]

Oh absolutely. We just got an amazing tour van (thanks to my thrifty Jewish bargaining and eye for great deals)
and are looking to make some trips for shows.

[Animalhill]

great choice. this movie is awesome.
Most definitely. Loved it dude

[jawstheme]

Brick
Manic
The Believer
The United States of Leland

The Believer is awesome. Such a smart script.

[fake empire]

melvin goes to dinner
primer
wet hot american summer
the baxter

(maybe people have seen these, but no one from my group of friends has..yet)

I was going to say the Baxter as well

[jawstheme]

I would say The Proposition, Irreversable, Elephant, The Audition, Old Boy, The Seventh Seal, and Aguirre the Wrath of God.

[Animalhill]

The Believer is awesome. Such a smart script.
For sure- and being a Jew, I found the movie even smarter. Just the dynamics of a person who is not afraid of conflict (obviously) and hates his heritage for its pacifism is so fucking brilliant.

[stayillogical]

Really? Stick to Back to the Future I guess.

Not a huge fan either. I'm a 12 Monkeys kind of girl. Primer and Timecrimes had good concepts, I just don't think the execution was great.

[derekmoyer4]

Most definitely. Loved it dude
as did i. i have watched it twice. i still hope for a different ending.

[Animalhill]

as did i. i have watched it twice. i still hope for a different ending.
Same man, same. How's work going?

[derekmoyer4]

Same man, same. How's work going?
oh not too shabby. got just under 2.5 hrs left, so that is good. how is work going for you man?

[Animalhill]

oh not too shabby. got just under 2.5 hrs left, so that is good. how is work going for you man?
Eh- not too bad. Scheduled another con call for that 50k Server deal for tomorrow to discuss more about the project. I, unfortunately, have about 4 hours left X-)

[derekmoyer4]

Eh- not too bad. Scheduled another con call for that 50k Server deal for tomorrow to discuss more about the project. I, unfortunately, have about 4 hours left X-)
nice. i am pulling for you to push that deal through. 4 hrs is rough man. so what you doing other than practicing tonight?

[Animalhill]

nice. i am pulling for you to push that deal through. 4 hrs is rough man. so what you doing other than practicing tonight?
Mad thanks man. Not much on the agenda- going to the gym after work, then band practice, and then hopefully I can talk one of various females into sleeping in my bed tonight.

[Throwback]

I've seen a lot of those. Riki-Oh is awesome. 100 Girls is also really funny and I'm a big fan of the main dude in it.

[derekmoyer4]

Mad thanks man. Not much on the agenda- going to the gym after work, then band practice, and then hopefully I can talk one of various females into sleeping in my bed tonight.
oh you are most welcome. sounds like an eventful night. i am sure you can convince some female to sleep in your bed tonight. you can use your charming good looks.

[Throwback]

The Namesake. Its Kal Penn's 'serious' movie and its really, really good. Beautiful cinematography.

[Throwback]

Slackers is probably the worst movie ever made.


Ever.

[Thomas Balkcom]

I would say The Proposition, Irreversable, Elephant, The Audition, Old Boy, The Seventh Seal, and Aguirre the Wrath of God.

agreed on The Proposition

[Animalhill]

oh you are most welcome. sounds like an eventful night. i am sure you can convince some female to sleep in your bed tonight. you can use your charming good looks.
haha really utilize my brown jewish skin right? No- it will probably come down to alcohol and lots, and lots of hollow compliments.

[derekmoyer4]

haha really utilize my brown jewish skin right? No- it will probably come down to alcohol and lots, and lots of hollow compliments.
of course. ladies love the jewish skin. ha, and i am predicting success for you tonight. just use the hollow compliment way. for then you will succeed. :-)

[chordsforacure]

Slackers is probably the worst movie ever made.


Ever.

I'm gonna disagree on that one, that's one of my biggest guility pleasues, not a great movie by an means but funny as fuck

[Animalhill]

of course. ladies love the jewish skin. ha, and i am predicting success for you tonight. just use the hollow compliment way. for then you will succeed. :-)
hahaha I know it will work- its just the two weeks of "OMFG !?!? Why wont you call me back!?!?" texts that I am dreading. Oh well, gotta get my nut. :tao:

[derekmoyer4]

hahaha I know it will work- its just the two weeks of "OMFG !?!? Why wont you call me back!?!?" texts that I am dreading. Oh well, gotta get my nut. :tao:

[Animalhill]

touche my friend. but i can see you have done the cost benefit analysis and have come to a conclusion.
Indeed I have- plus its a full moon tonight (I think) so I kind of have to? lol

[derekmoyer4]

Indeed I have- plus its a full moon tonight (I think) so I kind of have to? lol
lol. is that some kind of rule or something. cause if so i never knew about that before. damn.

[Animalhill]

lol. is that some kind of rule or something. cause if so i never knew about that before. damn.
According "Teen Wolf" starring Michael J Fox, it just may be.

[jawstheme]

Not a huge fan either. I'm a 12 Monkeys kind of girl. Primer and Timecrimes had good concepts, I just don't think the execution was great.

Yes, 12 monkeys was great. I just thought Primer was the most realistic time tavel movie I have ever seen. It's always impressive for me to see such a low budget movie pull off such a big concept.

[derekmoyer4]

According "Teen Wolf" starring Michael J Fox, it just may be.
lol. my god, i cannot believe we are living our lives based upon "Teen Wolf." that is just flat out ridiculously awesome.

[Animalhill]

lol. my god, i cannot believe we are living our lives based upon "Teen Wolf." that is just flat out ridiculously awesome.

Dans Paris

The Beat that My Heart Skipped

[derekmoyer4]

hahahaha I know right? I want that mother fucking vest that he has in that movie!
haha. that would be legendary. especially if you wore it during your escapade with the lady tonight.

[Animalhill]

haha. that would be legendary. especially if you wore it during your escapade with the lady tonight.
hahahaha YES! And I howl for my finisher

[derekmoyer4]

hahahaha YES! And I howl for my finisher
haha. nothing would be better than that. it would be amazing, maybe then she would not bug you with incessant texts and calls. right?

[love_american_style]

melvin goes to dinner
primer

[SingleDoubt]

I Spit On Your Grave simply for the nostalgia

[TeachBirds2Fly]

I know these have been said but totally agree:

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - really funny and great story
Slackers - a bit slow but genuis script
Primer - only $8000 to make, is so realistic it is almost scary. You have to watch it a few times but is a must see!

[love_american_style]

I Spit On Your Grave simply for the nostalgia

longest rape scene ever...

[Animalhill]

yes. and i am literally on all day. but i still get all my shit done. hell yes. i am sure there will be days sometime soon when i will be working outside, but we shall see. i have a bunch of shit i am doing. so...
I hear you- I do the same thing. I just keep it openin a window and post when I'm on hold or in a con call where the technical aspects are WAY over my head.

[chordsforacure]

Best quote is "OH GOD IT WON'T STOP BLEEDING" after the dude gets his dick cut off

[derekmoyer4]

Ahhhh so lucky. I wish they would just let me do my fucking job instead of, :"Sam- are you focused right now?" or "Sam- I think you should try speaking to people like this-" bullshit.

[derekmoyer4]

Ahhhh so lucky. I wish they would just let me do my fucking job instead of, :"Sam- are you focused right now?" or "Sam- I think you should try speaking to people like this-" bullshit.

[Animalhill]

Dude- you don't even understand. I had to drive 2 hours to our corporate HQ to attend a 9 hour "Time Management Seminar" The first thing I asked when they started the seminar was, "Could this seminar not have been condensed in order to remain more time effecient?" haha lady was red in the fucking face.

hahaha. you are such a smart-ass. but i would have asked the same thing. seminars generally are drug out way too long and end up going against what they are for. fucking stupid. but much props to you for asking that.

[Animalhill]

Hahaha yeah, my immidiate supervisor heard about it and yelled at me, and then high-fived me immidiately after and was like, "I HAD to reprimand you because of upper management, but that is hilarious". Booyeah

[kmart]

your job sounds crappy but at least u hve a kool supervisor

[derekmoyer4]

Hahaha yeah, my immidiate supervisor heard about it and yelled at me, and then high-fived me immidiately after and was like, "I HAD to reprimand you because of upper management, but that is hilarious". Booyeah

[Animalhill]

[derekmoyer4]

Whew- sounds like a shitty fucking teacher. Nice quip though!
oh she was. and thanks. in addition to that, she stopped me before class the next day and said if i told anyone about it i would be suspended. as if no one else was there to witness it. but i just continually pissed her off for the rest of the year.

[Animalhill]

I also really enjoyed it.

Kinda of. Despite Will Ferrel being in it, it's not that well known and it had a quiet reception in terms of box-office. It's not really talked about that often though it should be.

[chordsforacure]

Kinda of. Despite Will Ferrel being in it, it's not that well known and it had a quiet reception in terms of box-office. It's not really talked about that often though it should be.

I'll give you that one, I worked at a video store when that came out and it seemed like 75% of our customers didn't know what it was which REALLY shocked me. Then again the video store was in Delaware which we all know is one of the worst states ever (2nd only to Jersey)

[JustAStatistic]

Session 9


i completely forgot this movie existed, but it's definitely a good one.

[phil19]

ive always loved october sky

[stayillogical]

I watched this movie "En La Cama" on instant Netflix, because I wanted to watch something in Spanish and one of the reviews compared it to Before Sunrise/Before Sunset. Anyways, it completely blew me away. It's such a simple story: guy and girl in a motel room on a one night stand but they end up talking and making a connection. The script was so well written and the acting was unbelievable. I really felt like these were two real people I was watching. I'm still speechless that this movie I had never heard of and watched on a whim ended up being that great.

[apsterling]

Rushmore.

[cantnokdahustle]

In The Mouth Of Madness

The lines (and deliveries) in this film are fucking amazing.

[aolsux]

The Book Of Caleb

One of my all time favorite comedies done by a friend of a friend of a friend of mine. You can actually watch it in full online for free on Hulu

http://www.hulu.com/watch/55978/the-book-of-caleb
